We are finally fully up and running in our new location in COLD Johnson City, TN.  Our move was nothing short of WOW.  We must have been the dumbest people on this planet at the time, we moved the day after the large white out all over the East and North East.  We pulled trailers through snow for 600 miles to reach our new location.  It went pretty well considering the conditions, however we did just about lose a embroidery machine out the side of the trailer.  It was interesting to say the least.  We made it though. 

Our new location is great, we have 8,000 sqft of total space now, we have 6,300 sqft of warehouse/production space and 1,700 sqft of office space.  We finally for the first time have the room to grown like we need to.  The sky is the limit now.  Many dont know but we had been busting at the seams for a couple years now.  We were in a 2,200 sqft basement.  It did the trick but it was not near enough room for us.  Now we have the oppisite problem, haha.  Look for us to not only add more machines, products, services, but to become even more competitive as we grow!

Been awhile!  Well things are still growing very fast here and we have been fighting with enough room to produce our products for some time now.  The time has come, we have signed papers on a building in Johnson City, TN.  We will be relocating on December 21st - December 27th.  We will make our best efforts to handle any emails during this time but we may also be unreachable during this move.  But  its for the better, this will help us produce product even faster and allow us the room to grown even faster and larger. 

The building is a 8,000sqft with 1700sqft of office and 6300sqft of ware house/manufacturing area.  We will for the first time have the room we need to grow.  By know you guys realize we buy a lot of machines, expect this pace to pick up even more now that we have the room! 

Thanks to everyone for the support over the years, this is because of you and for you!

We just picked up our new Metal Halide Exposure Unit.  This new unit will speed up set up process drastically.  Screens used to take 20-23 Minutes to burn, we can do it in 1 minute now with the new exposure unit.  This will save us hours a day.  This should help speed up jobs even more.  This unit also does half tones and process color burning much more accurate than  it can be done with normal exposure units.  So look for more of that from us coming soon. 

We are constantly investing in better/faster equipment to make things better for our customers.  We thank you for the support!

Graphic Disorder will be on Vacation from end of busines 9/17-9/27.  Please understand email will not be handled durring this time and we may be completely unreachable.

We have begun the process of looking to build or buy a building.  We have outgrown our current space (2200sqft) and are busting at the seams so to speak.  We are currently thinking at least a 5,000sqft building will be good to start with.  We will likely move to TN area when we do this as well.  In addition to that we have been stupid busy making clothing.  Our next step once we secure a building is to goto Automatic Screen Press.  This will up our output from around 1000 pecies a day to 1400 pecies per hour.  This should drastically speed up orders.  I hope the process goes smooth and we can get the ball rolling on it all very soon.  Its a big expense to do all of this, but we feel it will be a huge positive step, and as you know we have always and will always look for ways to increase speed and make products more affordable for our clients.  Look for more info as time goes on.

First off, I want to say sorry we have not updated this recently! 

We have been super covered up with work!  So thanks goes out to all of you for that.  I assume by now most of you have seen our new hat pricing since we have been getting even more orders every single day.  We have been wanting to do this for a long time but we had such a great response with our 30 hat pricing that we were not getting a lot of requests for smaller orders.  But now we have something for everyone from 10 hats to 100 hats, also for qtys more than that we can blow your mind with some unheard of pricing.  We are around half the price of many of our competitors from mom and pop shops all the way up to large corperations like Lid’s. Be sure if you get a quote from someone else to bring it to me, I will likely meet or beat it.  So ask yourself why we are not doing your embroidery?!?!? 

Here is that ad we put out for this new pricing, so check it out.

We’re going green, a little bit at a time.  We’ve switched all of our screenprinting chemicals to 100% biodegradable, soybean based products, and our aerosol adhesives (although CFC Free) have been replaced with a much healthier, non-aerosol, water based product.  Now we can breathe a little bit easier, and maybe the fishies will swim a little bit better in the ocean because of us.

 
Last week I attended a multi-day screenprinting course to brush up on my current skills and learn new skills to take our printing to the next level.  Because of this, look for some new product options available from us soon on screenprint and embroidery, as well as a step up on the quality of our prints.

We’d also like to thank our customers for keeping us on our toes!  The past couple months have been very busy for us, and we’re working 7 days a week, pretty much non stop to keep the fast turnaround times possible!

Our end of the year Business Card Sale went over huge, so well in fact that we decided to keep it for the whole  2009 year.  I want to thank everyone that took the time to contact us and place orders, and all the nice comments we got in return from customers after the sale.  Means the world to us.  Making this sale our regular price is just one way we are thanking our customers for keeping us going strong!

Here is the link to our Business Card page if you have not checked out the new lower pricing, also note that the smaller qtys of cards also decressed in price.  Here is that link:

Back to the gym I go. I was at it fairly hard for awhile but we became so busy I had started missing and at some point stopped going. So today I hit the gym to get back going. I need to drop 40-60lbs so it’s going to be a long road. Wish me luck an please make fun of me if I don’t keep at it.
